HARRIET A. FARNAM, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF OF HERRIGHT TO HOMER O. ELLER, OF SAME PLACE.

COOKING AND HEATING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,025, dated August10, 1880.

Application filed November 22, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, HARRIET ADALINE FARNAM, of St. Paul, in the countyof Ramsey and Stateof Minnesota, have made certain new and usefulImprovements in Cooking and Heating Apparatus, which improvements arefully set forth in the following specification and accompanyingdrawings, in which to Figure 1 is a perspective view of the auxiliarytop and cover. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the main fire-chamber orfurnace. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the broiler. Fig. 4 is aperspective view of the cover of the I 5 fire-chamber, all disconnectedfrom each other, and Fig. 5 a sectional elevation of the wholeapparatus.

This invention relates to an apparatus for cooking and heating attachedto stoves; and

it consists of a heating apparatus adapted to be applied to a hole in astove-cover, and having a lower fire-pot or compartment made flaring attop and bottom, and provided with a stationary grate and a revolvingdamper, and 2 5 a broiler over which the firepot is fitted, an upperflaring drum, the latter and the fire-pot being provided with covershaving a central orifice in each, as hereinafter more fully set forth.

In using the ordinary broiler great difficulty is experienced from thesmoke and gas arising from the fire, as well as the necessity of a verylarge fire (when wood is used) to obtain the requisite amount of glowingcoals. This 5 necessitates the waste of a large amount of fuel, and is atroublesome process, especially in warm weather. A

To avoid these objections is the object of my invention, which consistsof a fire-pot or brazier, A, made flaring at the top and bottom andcontracted at a, and provided at the coutracted part with a grate orslotted plate, I), over which a similar slot-ted plate, 0, with anoperating-handle, d, revolves, the two plates forming an adjustableregister or damper whereby the draft maybe controlled.

The fire-pot is intended to be arranged over one of the holes, 6, of astove, B, as shown in Fig. 5, so that when the fire is lighted thesmoke, &c., will be carried downward through 1 the grate b 0 into thestove, and will exit from thence through the ordinary channels. By thismeans none of the products of combustion pass upward or come in contactwith the articles being cooked or the utensils containing 5 them. Thisis especially advantageous in broiling, the position ofthe broiler beingshown at C, Fig. 5, as no smoke, cinders, or unpleasant fumes or gascomes in contact with the meat.

Under some circumstances a larger fire is required, as in heatingflat-irons, &c., and to provide for this I arrange an auxiliary flaringdrum or chamber. D, upon top of the fire-pot A, as shown, so that alarger heating-surface may be obtained by the use of the same grate b c,and with but little additional expense.

Covers E E are used over both the fire-pots A D, they havingperforations g g to admit the necessary air to feed the fire.

The gxate may be made to revolve, slide, or move in any other manner toobtain the desired result.

I am aware that it is not new to carry the draft downward through thefire in a brazier into the stove, as such a device is shown in thepatent of N. 0. Bond, February 13, 1866, No. 52,519; but none, so far asI am aware, show an adjustable damper or grate, or an auxiliary fire-potand a flaring drum, D, the whole constructed and operated as in myinvention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the stove B, having the hole 0, of the fire-pot A,made flaring at top and bottom, and provided with a stationary grate, b,and revolving slotted damper c, with handle d, removable broiler O,flaring 9o drum D, cover E, having the central orifice,

g, and cover E, having central orifice, g, the whole constructed andarranged to operate in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

HARRIET ADALINE FARNAM.
